The One And Only Smackdown Thread - 4/3/03

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

I haven't started one of these in quite some time.

 

Official Preview from WWE.Com -

 

The first SmackDown! after WrestleMania kicks off at 8/7 CT this Thursday night on UPN!

20 years of hostility culminated at WrestleMania XIX when Mr. McMahon and Hulk Hogan finally squared off. McMahon promised to end Hogan's career, but was unsuccessful, despite some aide from "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. What was Piper doing at WrestleMania? Why did he attack Hogan?

 

The newest Playboy cover girl was at WrestleMania XIX? Though she wasn't scheduled to compete, she found herself in the middle of a catfight. Undoubtedly, she will be at Thursday's SmackDown! Will she find herself in another unscheduled catfight? If so, with who?

 

Also, Tajiri and Funaki are scheduled to battle the WWE Tag Team Champions, Team Angle.

 

In addition, Brock Lesnar captured the WWE Championship Sunday night at WrestleMania. Who will be his first opponent? Who will be crowned the No. 1 contender to his crown? Stephanie McMahon has the answer and she is going to share it with everybody this Thursday.

 

This and much more will unfold starting at 8/7 CT Thursday night on UPN!

[Guest tpww7]

SSP! DOH!

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

That SSP makes me cringe everytime I see it.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Ah, crap.

 

Isn't much else on TV, might as well watch. I'll alternate between this and the Wizards game.

[Guest HartFan86]

Steph's going back to her old hair color...thank GOD. She's so much better with her legit hair color.

[Guest tpww7]

They really know how to start off things by pissing off the crowd. Brock and Kurt wont be here!

[Guest HartFan86]

Taker vs. Mysterio is seroiusly the ultimate clash of styles.

 

Taker!

[Guest tpww7]

A-Train and Big Show do not belong in this.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Well, no more "Rollin" for Taker...Thank God.

[Guest tpww7]

I'm still mad Mysterio-Hardy only got 5 mins at Mania.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Damnit where's the post I just wrote??? It never showed up!

[Guest Trivia247]

geez Mystero and Taker

 

kinda like Jinsei Shinzaki and...well...Undertaker.

[Guest Trivia247]

Tazz busts out the Muaiti Kick Referance....

 

Kick Boxa!!

[Guest HartFan86]

I think Rey's head is in the front row after that kick...holy shit.

[Guest tpww7]

Mysterio's getting his ass kicked.

[Guest tpww7]

Nice chokeslam reversal into tornado ddt.

[Guest tpww7]

Way too short, but decent.

[Guest HartFan86]

That was the coolest Last Ride EVER.

 

It's really a shame Taker's all battered and bruised from the wear and tear cause you can definately tell how it's affecting him in the ring.....hopefully he gets his surgery over and done with on that elbow.

[Paul Stanley 0]

Who saw that coming?

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

About the only time I haven't minded Taker over the last few years was his heel run in early '02.

[Guest HartFan86]

Okay, I admit it...I mark for the Undertaker, despite most of the hatred of the smart marks for him. Ever since I saw him return in Boston, I've started to like him more and more (LOVED him in the summer of 98...then stopped liking him in 99...liked him when he came back....then he got pretty stale in 2001-2002...but like I said, ever since I saw him return)

[Guest tpww7]

Taker's been working better since coming back at the Rumble. In my opinion at least.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

I loved Taker from his debut until '99. When he came back in '00 his character was annoying and he went stale from then until he turned heel in late '01.

 

Face Biker Taker just does nothing for me.

[Guest HartFan86]

I keep forgetting I was standing within 20 feet of you TPWW waiting in line to get into the Fleet at the Rumble, lol. *Random*

[Guest tpww7]

Yeah, freaking odd. Too bad I read your post about going after I came back.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

I wonder if that Hardy Boyz book is any good?
